(because once a statement has been discovered to be true and
factual it no longer requires the assumption that began the investigation),
I thought you were saying that an interpretation of data based upon
an assumption was invalid.
But above you are saying that one starts with an assumption,
collects data, and if the data fits the assumption we claim
the assumption as fact and proceed.
Apart from the obvious point that scientists never claim to have
outright proved something, it sounds like you are arguing
from two different world-views simultaneously.
In one you say it is invalid to conduct an investigation with
a starting assumption and in the other you say that that is
exactly what you do.
If you beleive in sudden creation perhaps you could answer the
thread question and state what you would expect to see in
DNA seqeunces for different animals if sudden creation were
what happened.
